Meet Eliza and Marley. One day Eliza was at the cemetery with her mum and dad and all her
brothers and sisters... it's a very large family but she is the youngest and, according to the rest of them, the most under foot. Eliza didn't understand why they were all being so sad and boring, something to do with granny going to Heaven, which didn't sound all that sad to her, so she
wandered off to explore some of the little stone houses that were scattered
about, they were just her size! She found a very small and overgrown one in an older part of the graveyard and in it she found
Marley...well just his head...but he asked her to put him in her pocket
and take him home, so she did! Who wouldn't want a doll that can talk?
She made him a little body and hat from an old nightgown and keeps him
with her all the time. Funny thing is, no one else seems to hear him or
to notice that she has a new doll, but then they never did pay that much
attention to Eliza except to shoo her out of the way...and now that
everyone has been getting so ill and more of them are going to stay with granny in Heaven...well she and Marley are pretty much
able to do whatever they want and Marley has LOTS of ideas...

Tomorrow is Halloween and today's WIP peek is definitely in that spirit. If you could have stood outside my studio door this afternoon you would have heard me chuckling...nay cackling... in delight as I put the finishing touches on this one...SO MUCH FUN!

I love my job.

This baby doll's head is a bead made by my friend Sarah. Isn't it awesome?! I have a few more so more creepy dollies will be accompanying my Ghastly girls. This one will be listed in the shop tomorrow after I get some photos done. Very appropriate for Halloween!

Cinderella. Oh and another Ghastly girl, this one will have a doll with a
super cool head made by my friend Sarah, I can't wait to show you! As you can see lots to do, so back I go to work!
